"Cordarrelle is a different situation he was a year ago. He’s growing and teams are matching with him and they’re concentrating on him. We’ve got to continue to work ways to get him the ball," Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner said on Thursday. (Star Tribune)

Fantasy Impact:

The 2nd-year Tennesse product hasn't made a huge impact thus far this season averaging only 47.7 ypg. But his big-play ability is undeniable. He already has a 67-yard TD run as well as 2 grabs of 25 yards or more. The Vikings need to feed him the ball more, considering he's only been targeted 17 times in the passing game this season. With TE Kyle Rudolph now out, Patterson will have more chances to earn targets. He's a WR2 against a bad Falcons defense even with rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater under center.
